Fighter Jets Chase UFO Over M5 Motorway in UK

In October 2007 it was announced that RAF Boscombe Down will become a quick reaction alert (QRA) airbase from early 2008, offering round-the-clock
fighter coverage for the South and South West of UK airspace. Contrary to media reports QRA aircraft will only be based at Boscombe Down if and when a
specific threat to the region is deemed to exist, so not currently there, i think the wing is in Turkey or Iraq at present.

I think it may well be the P&O object used in the "UFO" video.

The hoaxer has now admitted the hoax and posted a video basically boasting about how he fooled people around the world.

Of course, there is no mention of the fact that many (probably most) people that commented on the video thought it was a pretty poor hoax, nor any
mention of the fact that anyone identified the actual 3D computer graphics used in the video - see e.g. my post above.

Footage on YouTube of two UK fighter jets shadowing a UFO has
lead to calls on the Ministry of Defense to either label the
video a hoax or respond to escalating fears of a potential
threat to national security.

Hi,

Contrary to the title shown on the video embedded on the Gather.com webpage at the link given above, this video is not from 2012. In fact, it is
simply a relabelled copy of the video in this thread that I spent a rainy Saturday afternoon in 2010 proving (beyond a shadow of a doubt) was a hoax.

I pointed out a few relevant facts, including showing that one of the rather boxy/fake looking trucks on the video had a serial number on its side
which is actually the same serial number shown on a 3D model of an identical looking truck being sold online.
